And no, no excuse can't be accepted cause an Attack on any sovereign nation is a declaration of war

JERUSALEM (AFP) -- Israel carried out an air strike near Damascus airport overnight, targeting Iranian missiles destined for Hezbollah, a senior Israeli source said Sunday.

"The attack was very close to the airport, the target was Iranian missiles which were destined for Hezbollah," the source said, speaking on condition of anonymity.

Earlier the official Syrian SANA news agency accused Israel of carrying out the attack on the Jamraya military research center in the Eastern Ghouta region. It did not say if there were any dead or wounded.

"This new Israeli aggression is a clear attempt to alleviate the pressure on the armed terrorist groups after our army beat them back in several regions and after the army's victories on the road to recovering security and stability in Syria," said SANA.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights watchdog said residents in the area reported seeing aircraft when powerful blasts rocked the area, adding the raid had caused casualties.

There was no immediate comment from Israel or the United States.

If confirmed, the attack would be Israel's second this week against targets inside Syria and also its second this year on the Jamraya facility, following a Jan. 30 raid that angered Syrian allies Iran and Russia.

"This attack proves the direct involvement of the Israeli occupation in the conspiracy against Syria and its links with terrorist groups in the aggression supported by Western countries and some Gulf countries," SANA said.

Israel has frequently warned if Syria's stockpile of chemical weapons falls into the hands of arch-foe Hezbollah, a close ally of Assad's regime, it would be a casus belli.

Its most recent strike targeted a weapons shipment to the militant group Hezbollah overnight Thursday, US media reported, but the Jewish state has refused to confirm or deny the bombing.

A Lebanese diplomatic source said the strike destroyed surface-to-air missiles recently delivered by Russia that were being stored at Damascus airport.

If bombing countries that support some armed/terrorist groups is Okay and Legal, i doubt that any country in the world will still exist!!!

Israel is a Terrorist country and we know it since long time ago! But I think we've already established 'International law' and 'Israel' can never appear in same sentence, and just to make it clear The Israeli government is a bunch of criminals and Terrorists, the Assad regime is a bunch of criminals and Terrorists, I don't need to stand with any of both. Syria has full rights to defend itself and its citizens against any attack, especially from Israeli and their armed Syrian rebels friends.

The world is now regretting why they let Isreal to exist, it was a BIG error to creat such a country. Zionism will cause the WIII.

From Blackout:
In a small Nepalese shop, Fukamachi stumbles across a camera which may well be that of George Mallory, the celebrated mountain climber who was the first to attempt to conquer Everest. Mallory disappeared along with Andrew Irvine, during the course of their ascent in 1924, without leaving any indication of whether they reached the summit or not. So what if it was only on their return trip that they had their fatal accident.

Yeah MotherF*ckers it's a Checkmate 

The Pirate Bay says it has been offered virtual asylum in North Korea. The move comes after the Norwegian Pirate Party was forced to stop routing traffic for the infamous BitTorrent site by a local copyright group. “We can reveal that we have been invited by the leader of the Republic of Korea, to fight our battles from their network,” the Pirate Bay says. A traceroute indeed suggests that The Pirate Bay is now being routed through the dictatorial country.

Last week the Swedish Pirate Party was forced to shut down its routing services to The Pirate Bay.

The Party and its leaders took this difficult decision after they were threatened with a lawsuit by a local anti-piracy group.

Luckily for The Pirate Bay, the pirate parties of Norway and Catalunya were willing to take over the role. However, after just a few days the Norwegians had to shut down their Pirate Bay node as well, facing similar threats as their Swedish comrades.

This resulted in some downtime earlier today after which The Pirate Bay returned online from a rather unexpected location.

A Pirate Bay insider informs TorrentFreak that they had been working for a while to get connectivity in North Korea. Today they made the big switch.

“We’ve been in talks with them for about two weeks, since they opened access for foreigners to use 3G in the country,” a Pirate Bay insider told us. “TPB has been invited just like Eric Schmidt and Dennis Rodman. We’ve declined up until now.”

While The Pirate Bay may not visit North Korea, they are using the country’s network to connect the BitTorrent site to the rest of the world.

“This is truly an ironic situation. We have been fighting for a free world, and our opponents are mostly huge corporations from the United States of America, a place where freedom and freedom of speech is said to be held high.”

“At the same time, companies from that country are chasing a competitor from other countries, bribing police and lawmakers, threatening political parties and physically hunting people from our crew. And to our help comes a government famous in our part of the world for locking people up for their thoughts and forbidding access to information,” they add.

The Pirate Bay says that it sees the current step as one forward for North Korea, and the BitTorrent site hopes that all North Koreans can soon access the site to foster freedom of information.

“We believe that being offered our virtual asylum in Korea is a first step of this country’s changing view of access to information. It’s a country opening up and one thing is sure, they do not care about threats like others do. In that way, TPB and Korea might have a special bond.”

“We will do our best to influence the Korean leaders to also let their own population use our service, and to make sure that we can help improve the situation in any way we can. When someone is reaching out to make things better, it’s also ones duty to grab their hand,” TPB concludes.

It’s worth noting that the Korean connection is used to hide Pirate Bay’s true location. The cloud servers behind it are still believed to be hosted elsewhere in the world.

While it’s hard to believe everything The Pirate Bay says, the site does indeed route through a North Korean netblock at the moment. Wheter it is sanctioned by the authorities, or if there is perhaps some trickery involved is unclear.

However, for some reason we think that Hollywood and the major music labels will have a hard time shutting that node down.

Sources :

The very well popular file-sharing website said it is now operating out of North Korea, after recently being forced out of Sweden. The Pirate Bay said Kim-Jong Un invited the website to North Korea, and the site’s logo, which is a pirate ship, now features the North Korean flag on its sails.

“This is truly an ironic situation. We have been fighting for a free world, and our opponents are mostly huge corporations from the United States of America, a place where freedom and freedom of speech is said to be held high,” a press release by the site says. “And to our help comes a government famous in our part of the world for locking people up for their thoughts and forbidding access to information.”

Although some are questioning the validity of the supposed move–the Pirate Bay had made a similar claim in 2007–the site’s IP address has been traced to Pyongyang, North Korea.

“If it’s a joke, it’s a very elaborate one,” said a user on Hacker News, a tech news forum.

The Pirate Bay’s news comes shortly after a visit to North Korea by former NBA player Dennis Rodman. Google’s Eric Schmidt also recently visited the country.

“We believe that being offered our virtual asylum in Korea is a first step of this country’s changing view of access to information,” the site’s statement says. “We will do our best to influence the Korean leaders to also let their own population use our service, and to make sure that we can help improve the situation in any way we can.”

some comments :

If the MPAA has the clout to corrupt the US government, North Korea is child's play for them. Don't underestimate their smarts.

The USA people have been so brainwashed into thinking NK is a terrorist country that we can use their own playbook against them. The headlines could be "MPAA aids terrorist country North Korea!" I do believe we take away the rights of terrorist sympathizers like the MPAA right? We now can legally kill those in the MPAA for conspiring with the enemy!

NORTH KOREA IS BEST KOREA, GO KIM!!

Seriously, I have been there twice. It is NOT like the US propaganda films blackpaint it. Sure, they have problems and people are not always treated in an ideal way. But they are a country not under imperialist occupation (as opposed to South Korea) and they are shooting for the stars when it comes to the future. I met with a really good offshoring business when I was there. Excellent coders. Wait and see.

Hilarious. This makes the US look sooooo bad. No longer is it the land of the free, I suggest you take that part out of your national anthem.

Only the rich are free in the USA. The rest are nothing but serfs...

NK have their own national intranet. They have an FTP server that people can get all the software they need for free, and download som multimedia files.,

Per standard communist reasoning they feel that the internet is infiltrated by imperialist propaganda and ruins peoples revolutionary mindset etc, etc.

So they make up for it with this national intranet that has forums, filesharing and content free for all to snatch.

Yup the title seems crazy but it is true, read below :

About Mars One
Mars One is a not-for-profit organization whose goal is to establish a human settlement on Mars through the integration of existing, readily available technologies from industry leaders world-wide. Mars One intends to fund this decade-long endeavor by involving the whole world as the audience of an interactive, televised broadcast of every aspect of this mission, from the astronaut selections and their preparations to the arrival on Mars and their lives on the Red Planet.

Human Settlement on Mars in 2023

Mars One is a not-for-profit organization that will take humanity to Mars in 2023, to establish the foundation of a permanent settlement from which we will prosper, learn, and grow. Before the first crew lands, Mars One will have established a habitable, sustainable outpost designed to receive astronauts every two years. To accomplish this, Mars One has developed a precise, realistic plan based entirely upon existing technologies. It is both economically and logistically feasible, in motion through the integration of existing suppliers and experts in space exploration.

We invite you to participate in this journey, by sharing our vision with your friends, by supporting our effort and, perhaps, by becoming the next Mars astronaut yourself.

What are the qualifications to apply?

Qualifications

In 2013 Mars One will conduct a global search to find the best candidates for the first human mission to Mars in 2023. On Mars, the primary responsibility for the astronauts is to keep everything, and everyone, up and running. This will be a particular challenge for the first teams. They will need the skills to solve any potential problem - some of which will be completely unforeseeable. Their combined skill sets of each team member must cover a very wide range of disciplines. The astronauts must be intelligent, creative, psychologically stable and physically healthy. On this page, we offer a brief introduction to the basics of our astronaut selection process.

The astronaut selection process

In spaceflight missions, the primary personal attributes of a successful astronaut are emotional and psychological stability, supported by personal drive and motivation. This is the foundation upon a mission must be built, where human lives are at risk with each flight.

Once on Mars, there is no means to return to Earth. Mars is home. A grounded, deep sense of purpose will help each astronaut maintain his or her psychological stability and focus as they work together toward a shared and better future.

Mars One cannot stress enough the importance of an applicant’s capacity for self-reflection. Without this essential foundation, the five key characteristics listed below cannot be utilized to the fullest potential.

I'm in, i'm seriously talking, i'll take my chance and see to where in the elimination i can get 

Yosh minna

Well to say the truth, From the time i joined this forum untill this week, it never came to my thoughts that things will come this far. I never thought that it comes a day where i'll be obligated to say " Sayonara minna", really never thought about it, i've been in soo many stupid problemes in Jcafe before that one, i've been Warned, moderated and muted so many time that i can't even remember, i've been also banned once here, but i always came back.
I had so many stupid/funny fights with pretty much a lot of people here, Wrath, Natsu, DS, Pancake face...... i can't too remember them all.
I've been also in a good term with lot of people too, Cface, animerider, Redfran, Infy-kun, SK, mbio-chan, Kaos, SYOUS, pucca ..... also from the new members i can recall Shad, Acce, h_b, msg , Mahoo, Tavi, byrn, ....... Just too many guys i've enjoyed talking to and having good time with.

I thought this happy time and fun time gonna continue to the end of the days, but it seems my previsons are all false and that the "See ya" Time had come without me noticing it.

It's also true that i have been in some case a bad person, but believe me it just because i have been misunderstood, and sometime i felt like all people are against me, i do admit that, and i'm sorry for all minna for what i ever done bad to them, DS used always to say " You're a drama queen", i'm not.

I decided after the Flamming i've been victime (this time), after cooling down and thinking calmly, and after see the judgement and the action taken by mod (DS) and the Admin (Infy and Silv), after noticing that no warning had been giving to the guy who flamme me, none ever bother to do so, gonna quot this from silv :

2.b) Unprovocated insults from mods to users CAN lead to a mod's warning or retirement. Be sure that those incidents will be investigated thourougly and decisions will be made entirely on admin level

after all this i've decided to Leave the forum for an unknown period, it could be a month, 2 or forever!, that depends on me.

I've made clear to Silv that i'm dissapointed by his decision, and that's what he said in a msn talk :

"My judgement is good, always has been. I might sound rash, but I think deeply. It's just that you don't understand it"

still don't know what i have to understand in such decision 0.0!


So minna thank you all for the good time we'had together for over 2years ...... Thank you minna

Thanks to all those who gived me all my names (mean-chan, hachi-chan, Michi, ....), thanks to all those who ren me for my uploads or for the help i offer them, thanks to all those who supported me in one way or another, thanks to DS for being a Gramma b.ch with me for some time, thanks to shad for introducing me to Mahjong, thanks to .... all ya guys.

I'll me around here time to time just to check out the WC section, so if you have something to tell me or if you want to exchange you're msn with me, feel free to pm me, gonna answer whene i'm here ^^

Yosh mina !

I saw this in a blog and i wanted to discuss it with you, so i'm going to quot it :

Robin Lustig - a man who is trying to make sense of the world writes for the BBC and posts an article up entitled "Is Japan a Dying Nation?"

Robin writes:-

    As I reported on Wednesday, on current trends, the population of Japan will have halved by the end of the century.

    It is, literally, a country that is slowly dying.

    According to one United Nations estimate, it'll need to import 17 million foreign workers over the next 40 years, just to keep its economy afloat and provide enough carers to look after the elderly. (By 2050, there will be more than a million Japanese over the age of 100.)

    I'm no social psychologist, so I wouldn't dare to come up with an explanation for why Japanese couples aren't having enough babies. But one theory is that Japanese women are increasingly reluctant to marry, because they think Japanese men have shown themselves unable to adapt to the needs of a new, more flexible society - and have retreated into a fantasy world of comics, video games and animated pornography where they feel less threatened.

(read the rest at BBC)

This article has been picked up by Japanese media and the topic been thrown to the 2ch netizens - Itai News summarizes their thoughts on the article:-

    -Make reality more interesting than games please.
    -Yeah I can live on games alone.
    -If everybody became obsessed with games then we would live in a peaceful society.
    -Whats the point of increasing the population of this resourced starved narrow country.
    -I tried to fight with reality but failed so many times.
    -Reality does not want to deal with me you idiot.
    -The world in the monitor is reality. The world we live in is just imaginary.
    -To be honest, I don't want a (real) woman.
    -Love Plus is reality.
    -But in reality women don't want to marry us unless we earn more than 10 million yen (100,000 USD) per year.
    -There are too many Japanese people anyway so decreasing the population would be just right.
    -But the 2D world is ideal.
    -Oh and its OK to be obsessed with movies and books then?
    -My (2D) girlfriend is Aika-san. She lets me meet her whenever I want and greets me with a smile if I forget a date - and she does not cost money. Thats all I need.
    -His words are racist.
    -OK then - hows this for reality?
    -I'm 30 and earn 3.5 million yen (35K USD) - how am I supposed to get married?
    -Why is somebody from a declining country (England) telling me this?
    -The decline of the population has nothing to do with games or manga.
    -My partner is Hatsune Miku. I would do anything for her and we are thinking of having kids.
    -I tried to face reality and it became Love Plus.
    -We must fight reality!
    -The problem is that dolphin waxing feels good.
    -I cant see the merits of getting married - all I see are demerits.
    -When sexaroids become reality, humans will become extinct.
    -Blaming Japanese men is not going to solve anything.
    -Those who face reality risk suicide.
    -They should make a game for the DS called "lets face society"
    -A country of Neets (England) being worried about Japan?
    -Not sure about England but the hurdle to getting married over the past 20 years in Japan is gone up too high - socially and financially.
    -Unless there are more job positions then I cant face reality.
    -Cant trust women - will just be worried about her having an affair - cant be bothered with that.
    -Women are not attractive to me anymore. I can wash my clothes with a push of a button and can eat from a convenience store. As long as I can clean up, I don't see the reason for feeding a money sucking worm (wife).
    -People don't get married because they know that life is over when they do.
    -Japan is on the decline because women prefer good looking men with money.
    -Girls in games wont cheat on us.
    -The solution is to make reality in games.
    -I'm too busy with work to think about getting married.
    -Getting married and having kids is happiness?
    -Working like a slave and then dying after getting married - no thanks.
    -But Sanya is too cute.
    -I'm living off 2.1 million yen. If I don't read manga or anime then I just cant go on.
    -Solution is simple - make it so that anime and manga characters can get pregnant.


And the other 2507 comments at Itai News which currently end in "Lets go down together England!"

My personal observations from the people directly around me is that while they do have their anime, manga and game interests, they still do get married (or intend to) and they have normal jobs some of them executives and some running their own gigs.

As for the comments about it costing a bomb to get married - well it can in Japan and traditionally most (not all) wives then quit their job to stay at home to have and look after children.
Weddings alone can cost a bomb too. The average cost of getting married is 3.76 million yen (about 37K USD).
Then the average cost of moving in together costs 1.9 million yen (19K USD).

What do you make of all this about games, anime, manga, reality, population decline and getting married? Are there any comments above that you particularly agree/disagree with?

Photo taken at Sakuraya Hobby Kan in Shinjuku of some young lads indulging in some games - perhaps meeting up with their 2D partners?

What do tou think about that ?!
